UBC announced today that Dr. Dermot Kelleher will become the next Dean of the Faculty of Medicine beginning September 1, 2015.

Currently the Vice-President Health and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial College London, Dr. Kelleher brings extensive strategic medical leadership skills and experience with academic institutions, health service delivery organizations, government and industry. He is an extraordinary clinician, scientist and entrepreneur who has demonstrated collaboration and collegiality throughout his career. He has been instrumental in the successful development of academic health science centres and networks in the U.K. and Ireland. An outstanding academic and administrator, he is an excellent choice for this decanal role.

Dr. Kelleher’s CV and the candidate profile may be found at: www.vpacademic.ubc.ca.

Dr. Gavin Stuart will complete his term of appointment as Dean on August 31, 2015. Dean Stuart’s extensive achievements, outstanding service and excellent leadership during the past 12 years will formally be recognized closer to the end of his term.

“It is an honour and a privilege to succeed Dean Gavin Stuart in this role,” Dr. Kelleher says. “He has developed a vibrant organization combining excellence in education, biomedical science and population health with the capability to lead internationally in health care delivery.”

Dr. Kelleher has been invited to UBC in early March to spend more time getting to know people in the Faculty, and will give an academic presentation addressing his background, research, administrative and leadership experience, and the opportunities and challenges he sees for the Faculty. This forum for faculty, staff and students has been scheduled for Friday, March 6.
